Jim Breen’s Japanese Dictionary

This website was a godsend to me while I was studying Japanese as an undergrad. You can search for Japanese words in roman script or in kana and kanji or search for English words. It also includes a kanji dictionary which can be searched by meaning, reading, stroke number and radical. It also allows you to input whole sentences in Japanese for translation (although it translates the individual words and like most online translators has little to no understanding of the grammar).

This is probably the best freely- available Japanese dictionary and many of the others are based on it. It’s good for beginners and experts.
